Based in Arnold’s Cove, Newfoundland, Canada, family-owned Icewater Seafoods is a vertically integrated groundfish company with a clear focus: producing high-quality North Atlantic cod.

Ocean Choice International (OCI) is one of Canada’s largest family-owned seafood processing companies. Founded in Newfoundland in 2000, OCI operates across harvesting, processing and marketing.

The poultry industry invests significant resources into genetics, hatching and breeding to ensure high-quality birds enter the supply chain. How do you preserve that value through catching, transport, lairage, and processing - without compromising welfare, quality, or operational efficiency?

Following the installation of our processing solution, our commitment to customers doesn’t end - in many ways, it begins a new chapter. We sat down with our Global Service and Installation Manager, Harry Otter, to discuss the core purpose of our service teams and how building strong, lasting relationships is essential to ensuring customers achieve consistently high performance and get the most value from their investment.

Today's poultry plants rarely produce a single product. Whole birds, wings, leg products, breast meat, and deboning all compete for capacity on the same processing line. An effective cut-up system must therefore offer the flexibility to process each bird into a variety og different cuts that each optimize the value of every product and meet a variety of customer specifications. Every cut made on the cut-up line has a direct impact on yield, product quality, and ultimately the value of the finished product.
